Luke 20:17-18

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 20:18

Fall upon. That is, whosoever sins against God, yet believes, will be spared by God for a short time to repent, though he kills his own soul by mortal sin: but, upon whomsoever it shall fall, that is, he who denies Christ, and continues on hardened in his sin, upon him the fury of God shall fall, and he shall be utterly destroyed. It will grind him to powder, like the dust which the wind driveth from the face of the earth. (Psalm i.) (Ven. Bede) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:9-19

9-19 Christ spake this parable against those who resolved not to own his authority, though the evidence of it was so full. How many resemble the Jews who murdered the prophets and crucified Christ, in their enmity to God, and aversion to his service, desiring to live according to their lusts, without control! Let all who are favoured with God's word, look to it that they make proper use of their advantages. Awful will be the doom, both of those who reject the Son, and of those who profess to... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 20:1-99

Luke 20 YET IN THE precincts of the temple the Lord taught daily during this last week of His life, so it is not surprising that He came into conflict with them. The whole of this chapter is occupied with details of the conflict. The chief priest and scribes began the conflict, and at the end they were left silenced and unmasked. They started by challenging His authority. They were the people in authority there, and to them He was but an upstart “Prophet” from Nazareth. Their question assumed... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 20:13-18

The climax of the story and its application: v. 13. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will relevance him when they see him. v. 14. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. v. 15. So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? v. 16. He shall come and... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 20:1-19

B. Controversial Discourses against His Enemies. Luke 20:01. The Closing Controversy with the Pharisees and the Chief of the People concerning the Authority of Jesus (Luke 20:1-19)(In part parallel with Matthew 21:23-27; Matthew 21:33-46; Mark 11:27-33; Mark 12:1-12.)1And it came to pass, that on one of those1 days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests [the priests2] and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 2And spake unto him, saying, Tell us,... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 20:9-19

Luke TENANTS WHO WANTED TO BE OWNERS Luk_20:9 - Luk_20:19 . As the crisis came near, Jesus increased His severity and plainness of speech. This parable, which was spoken very near the end of the protracted duel with the officials in the Temple, is transparent in its application, and hit its mark immediately. The rulers at once perceived that it was directed against them. The cap fitted too well not to be put on. But it contains prophecy as well as history, and the reference to Jesus’... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 20:9-18

“The Stone Which the Builders Rejected” Luke 20:9-18 The vineyard represents the privileges and blessings of the Hebrew race. The servants are evidently the prophets and others sent from God. Whatever our position in life, God expects a revenue from it. We are not owners, but tenants; not proprietors, but stewards. Are you sure that you are giving God the dues which He may justly claim? Notice how our Lord severs Himself from all human messengers, as the Son. When He said my beloved Son ,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 20:1-47

This chapter records the remarkable happenings gathered around our Lord's entrance into the Temple. By a parable He revealed the awful sin and failure of the Hebrew nation, culminating in His own rejection, showing, moreover, that that sin must result ultimately in the breaking into pieces of the sinning people. The closing conflicts between the rulers and Jesus constitute the saddest revelation of the depravity of the human heart. Jesus' teaching had driven them into a comer from which there... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:1-47

Jesus Preaches In The Temple (19:47-21:38). Having driven the traders out of the Temple in His prophetic zeal Jesus then revealed the greatness of His great courage by returning daily to that same Temple in order to teach the people. As the traders, who would quickly have returned, watched with baleful eyes, and the Temple police stood by alert for trouble, Jesus boldly entered the Temple again, and ignoring both, proceeded to address the crowds gathered there. Indeed the great crowds that... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:9-19

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants of a Vineyard (20:9-19). But Jesus did not leave it there, He riposted with a parable that connected His accusers with the slayers of the prophets, by this confirming their connection with others in the past who had been unable to recognise those who came from God, and at the same time remarkably laying down His claim to being the unique and only Son of God, thus answering their question about the source of His authority indirectly, which is one reason why in... read more
